We thank Calvary Life, Church of the Assumption, Lighthouse Fellowship and Promiseland for diapers, wipes, and baby items etc. to help families. We also thank those that sent donations, we cannot do this without your help. God bless you! Please invite your church to come to our annual Roe V Wade Memorial Service Summit Center on 3787 Main St Bridgeport. Statewide clergy will speak and pray. Peter Wolfgang, CT Family Institute, is our keynote speaker. Try to let us know how many are coming so we can give the police a estimated count.

This event is scheduled for Thursday Jan 22, 2015, 9 AM (snow date Friday) It’s been 42 years of legalized child sacrifice and over 55 million children created in the image of God have been brutally murdered. Shame on us in America that we've allowed this to happen.

We need your support. Their business is slow – please pray and take a public stand with us so it will close soon and baby killing will end in our community. 73 abortion facilities shut down in 2014 in the United States and 75% of all abortion clinics have closed since 1991.

Needs: diapers sizes 4, 5, 6 and wipes. Stop & Shop food cards

Please pray for God to use us to save lives and souls. Pray for moms and others to make Jesus their Lord and Savior.

At Planned Parenthood, New Haven: Vivien, Carmen and Bel

Danny and Al joined Keith Tucci, Rusty Thomas and other OSA leaders at a "Band of Brothers" conference in Indiana 11/13-11/15. About 400 attended and about 250 men went to the Planned Parenthood there on Saturday. PTL! (below)

Frank Carpanzano blessed our ministry with many Thanksgiving food bags from St John's Basilica in Stamford. We were able to help families have food for the holidays. THANK YOU!"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good." Psalm 107:1

Calvary Life Church will be having a diaper drive between now and Christmas to help the moms and babies in the pro-life ministry. We encourage you all to do the same thing in your churches. These are moms that are in crisis situations and were contemplating abortion. When we plead with them to keep their babies we promise to help them anyway we can. Diapers and wipes are the most expensive item for needy moms to buy. All sizes can be used including the larger sizes because the babies grow out of the little ones fast. Please put it on your shopping list and pick up some diapers and wipes when you go grocery shopping.... for the least of these our brethren. Thank you! God bless!

Please join us every Wednesday and Saturday (sometimes Friday) at 3787 Main St Bridgeport and Saturdays at 345 Whitney Ave New Haven from 8 AM- 10 AM as we reach out to moms who find themselves where they should not be. If not us...then who? If not here..then where? If not now...then when? Look at the pictures of these babies, if Christians weren't out there to plead the case of the fatherless, they wouldn't be alive today. Soften your hearts and do something out of your comfort zone this Christmas season... saving lives and souls for Jesus!

For the Least of These,Marilyn Carroll & Carmen Vazquez

Our faithful brother in the Lord, Vinny Bosco, did a teaching at his church (Lighthouse Fellowship, Bridgeport) on abortion.A woman from his church that was there sent him this testimony:

Deacon Vinny, Thank you for such inspiring words of wisdom this past weekend, you rocked!!! I wanted to let you know that because of those ugly signs that are held up at the mill....people like you helped save my son's life 27+ years ago. Thank you, Deacon VInny, I appreciate you and love you in the Lord:-) (It was probably Stan Scott)

A friend calls you early thing in the morning and tells you 15 moms are going into the clinic to have their two year old little boys and girls killed. The police won't stop it .WHAT WOULD YOU DO?1.) Fall to your knees and pray for 20 minutes then go about your busy day?2.) Decide that you will vote pro-life and go about your business?3.) Write a check to a pro-life group and then go about your business? 4.) GO TO THE KILLING PLACE AND TRY TO PERSUADE MOMS NOT TO KILL THEIR KIDS. The first three choices are needed but the fourth is the only one that can save a life. We would do that for two year olds, why not for boys and girls in the womb that are 2 months - 9 months?(Pastor Ed Martin)

Bridgeport Stats for July 201459 babies killed by surgical abortions6 babies saved because Christians came out

Thirteen pro-lifers from Connecticut went to the Operation Save America's national event in New Orleans, Louisiana July 19th-26th. We were blessed to co-labor with hundreds of other pro-life Christians from all over the country on the streets of Louisiana. We did a memorial funeral service for an aborted baby in the center of town.

Abortion mills were mostly closed and the lost heard the Gospel message. There was a church service every night with excellent teachings, exhortations and testimonies of the power of God. National OSA Director Philip (Flip) Benham passed the baton to Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas who was born in Bridgeport, CT and now resides in Waco, Texas with his 13 children and numerous grandchildren. Hundreds of youth came up to give testimony to Flip and his wife Faye of how they have imparted Christ into their lives during the past twenty years.

Our two new sidewalk counselors Vivian and Bel that have been faithfully coming out toBridgeport and PP every Saturday. We are so excited that they are reaching out to theirpiers. They are fearlessly speaking to the moms going into the mills. They have been consistent in their prayer life and God is using them powerfully! They are so eager to learn!!We are praying for the Lord to continue to draw many young people to come out andmade a difference in their community and state!! Lets keep praying in Jesus Name!

Bel and Vivian at Summit, Flip and Keith passing the baton to Rusty The OSA-CT group with Flip & Faye.

A friend of ours has befriended a woman who worked at the Summit abortuary for almost two years. Her story is one of grief and sorrow until God led her out. She started as a secretary/receptionist and then helped out on the floor assisting counting the baby pieces and cleaning up afterwards. Some of what she related to was very disturbing and so very sad. She states it was one of the darkest periods of her life. She became convinced during her time working there that life begins at conception and anything otherwise is a LIE. She is glad she is not working there anymore. She is heading towards salvation and being set free. She has had nightmares over it since. It was discussed about her going on the record about it all and she said some day she would be glad to speak with us about her experience. Pray for her please.

We also spoke to another worker that quit Summit. He was there picking up his last check. We all talked to him on the way out. He doesn't have a job yet, but I mentioned to him that the Bridgeport Police Academy is taking applications for new police officers. He was thrilled and said he would like to apply. He gave me his cell number and I was able to call him with the information. I also invited him to our church since he does live in West Haven. To God be The Glory!!

More good news: the past three weeks the mill was closed on Fridays! PTL!Presently the killing days are Wednesday and Saturday. We are there from 8 AM -10 AM at 3787 Main St. Bridgeport. Come join us and see what God will do!

This little miracle Aaliyah was born at Bridgeport Hospital on June 26 and she weighed in at 7lbs 6oz. The Daddy was so excited to see his baby girl being born. He took a week off of work to bond with his princess! He is glad they changed their minds from having an abortion! To God be the glory!

I am blessed to say that three moms and their families have been coming to Calvary Life Church in Cheshire. One of the moms is dedicating her baby this Sunday July 13, the address is 174 E Johnson Ave if anyone wants to come, 10 AM service. (will post a pix in next month's newsletter) One of these moms is struggling to get her car insured, registered and fix the brakes. Plus they need to move because of mold and roaches because the landlord does nothing, Please pray for them.

One out of every three babies in America is killed by abortion!Psalm 125:3 "For the wicked shall not rule the godly, lest the godly be forced to do wrong."This has gone too far...Barack Obama's crusade against innocent children has reached a fevered peak. Obama, and the excommunicated Kathleen Sebelius are forcing people to pay $1 per month for abortion through their health insurance plan! $1 a month multiplied by everyone in America is $3.7 billion dollars!There are no surcharges for cancer treatments, heart disease or debilitating childhood diseases like leukemia. No, only $3.7 million dollars surcharge for abortion! Shame! (FMR)

The Supreme Court, on June 26, unanimously struck down a protest-free buffer zones at abortion clinics in Massachusetts (McCullen v. Coakley). This sets a precedent for other clinics in our nation. Justice Scalia said the opinion carried forward the courts practice of suppressing abortion opponents free-speech, while using an entirely separate abridged edition of the First Amendment for speech against abortion. This challenge was brought by a 77 year old Eleanor McCullen, who quietly converses and offers help to persuade moms not to abort. She said she was thankful to God that the court protected her right to engage in kind, hopeful discussion with women who feel they have nowhere to turn.Our attorney Michael DePrimo, was involved with lawyers on this case. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley (D) said their state will look for a solution to protect everyone from harassment, threats, and physical obstruction. President of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, said the ruling disregarded American women who should be able to make "medical" decisions without harassing threatening protestors.

We had a baby shower for Areen at Carmen's Church (Promise Land)She is due to have a baby girl in three weeks. PTL! Thank you to all who came and those who gave gifts, she was very appreciative.

Last month we were blessed to give two young ladies "purity rings" to encourage and remind them who they are in Christ. We are also discipling quite a few young moms and families and bringing them to our local churches. Please keep these young people in your prayers. God knows who they are.

Jesus said "Be careful. Don't think these little children are worth nothing. I tell you that they have angels in Heaven who are always with my Father." Matthew 18:10-11

Throughout scripture God has revealed His tender heart toward those who are dependent on others, such as widows and orphans.

Jesus said ...."Whatever you do unto the least of these my brethren...you do for Me!" Matthew 25:40

Without your help we couldn't help these families. They all are very grateful.We thank God and thank you all for being co-laborers with us.And most of all we thank Jesus for allowing us to be His hands, His feet, His mouthpiece.

We have three moms getting new apartments so if you have anything in good conditionyou would like to donate let us know. Also if you want to give to the car fund for Tironda (mom of 4) put a note in the memo of the check.

"In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present not things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."Romans 8:37-39

Thank you!Carmen's email: [email protected]Areen Sanchez has a registry at Burlington.

Our local Planned Parenthood in New Haven sent out a letter calling themselves "a key health care provider for thousands of women, men, children in southern New England". They also stated that "Most people don't know PP believes every woman has the right, the freedom, and the opportunity to follow her own personal ambitions and choose her own path toward a healthier, more meaningful life -- and that we've been fighting for this for close to 100 years." Does this sound like a death camp that kills almost 400,000 babies a year! God have mercy on us, help us bring the nation back to you!!

Jesus said "The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few." Ask the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers. Jesus said "I am sending you out like lambs among the wolves!" Pastor Ed gave us this prayer that he prays based on Luke 10.

Lord as you send us out as lambs among wolves,I pray your protection against any evil spiritsthat would come against the pro-lifers on the front line.I pray you would bind any spells, curses, hexes, or incantations that have been brought against us and may they return to the pit of hell from where they come.Lord use me to save as many babies as I can TODAY..Lord give me your words to reach the women going into the mill to destroy their babies lives.Lord send your ministering angels into the death camp to drive demonic spirits away.Lord please send your Holy Spirit to speak to the women that sit waiting to kill their child.Lord, please send workers to bring this great harvest of souls and unborn children that just simply want to live. Amen and amen.

We urge you not to pray this prayer unless you mean it. When you do pray it, God will show you what He would have you do. And if you continue to pray this prayer and continue to be faithful, God will send you people to help. (We are at 3787 Main St Bpt.every Wed, Fri Sat 8-10 AM).

I asked our attorney, Michael DePrimo, to write a couple of paragraphs below:

City of Bridgeport Settles Pro-Life Lawsuit

The City of Bridgeport has settled a lawsuit brought by Marilyn Carroll and Carmen Vazquez in 2012 challenging the City's policy that prohibited the reasonable use of sound amplification on the sidewalk outside the Summit Women's Center. The City has admitted that the reasonable use of a mechanical sound amplification device is constitutionally protected and therefore will no longer forbid its use. The City also agreed that permits will no longer be needed for simple sidewalk assemblies outside Summit that do not generate crowds. Finally, the City agreed to pay $20,000. in attorney's fees and to train its officers to respect First Amendment rights. Marilyn and Carmen began using a portable loudspeaker in March 2010 because noise generated by traffic and other motorized devices on Main St in front of Summit made it difficult to reach women in Summit's parking lot. They used the loud speaker for over two years before a newly-assigned police captain issued directives to police officers under his command to inform pro-life advocates that mechanical sound devices would no longer be allowed at Summit. Unsurprising, the directive was issued in response to complaints by Summit staff. However, a First Amendment right to use sound amplification was first recognized by the United States Supreme Court in 1948 in the case of Saia V. New York. Since then, numerous courts have upheld the right to use sound amplification so long as it is reasonable given the time, place, and surrounding circumstances.

Here is the obituary that was in the newspaper for a Summit ABORTIONIST that killed babies for many decades on Middle Street. This makes him sound like a hero; are you kidding me?

Souvlis, MD, Charalambos D.Charalambos "Harris" D. Souvlis, MD, a retired OB-GYN, age 92, devoted husband of Elli Karamazakis Souvlis, of Fairfield, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2014. In addition to Elli, his loving wife of 45 years, Dr. Harris Souvlis will be remembered by his sons, James Souvlis, of Athens, Greece, and John Souvlis. Born and raised in Chalkis, Evia, Greece, Dr. Souvlis received his Medical Doctorate from the University of Athens. He spent six years in New York City after coming to the United States in 1954, moving to Bridgeport before settling in Fairfield with his family in 1970. Paving the way for many talented doctors, he was proud to have been the first to be accepted into the Connecticut Obstetricians and Gynecologists Society with an earned Doctorate from a University overseas. He held privileges for Park City Hospital, St. Vincent's Medical Center, and Bridgeport Hospital. In reflecting upon his time in practice, he found tremendous joy and satisfaction in knowing he helped thousands of women bring their children into the world. He was especially blessed when delivering the last baby before his retirement, a child who's grandmother was the first baby Dr. Souvlis delivered. Throughout his life, he firmly expressed love for his family and devotion for the care of his many patients. Truly a man for others, he will be missed by all whom he touched in life. Calling hours will be held on Tuesday from 4 to 7 PM in the Lesko & Polke Funeral Home, 1209 Post Road, in Fairfield Center with Trisagion services at 6 PM. Friends are invited to go directly to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 4070 Park Avenue, Bridgeport on Wednesday at 11 AM where the Rite of Burial will be officiated by Father Andreas Vithoulkas Presbyter, interment immediately following in Oak Lawn Cemetery, Fairfield. Memorial contributions may be directed to the American Red Cross Mid-Fairfield County Chapter, 158 Brooklawn Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604.

Needs of the ministry: we always need plenty of diapers and wipes (all sizes) everyone picked up a pack when they go shopping it would make the burden less on us. We spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on diapers every month, we need your help. We have plenty of baby clothes sizes 0-12 months, we need toddler and children's clothes from 18 months and up.

February Street Report 2014

February 201465 babies were killed in Bridgeport by surgical abortion 2 babies were saved from abortion when moms changed minds(this activity is recorded by what we observe there)

Twin girls that were born February 21st. Baby Jojuan turned one year old on 2/3/14!Mom is doing very good and working full time and enjoying her happy son!!

AND THE LORD SAID "GO"And I said "Who me?" and He said "Yes, you." "But I'm not ready yet and there is company coming and I can't leave the kids and you know there's no one to take my place." And He said "You're stalling." And again the Lord said "go." And again I said "But I don't want to." And He said "I didn't ask if you wanted to." "Listen I'm not the kind of person to get involved in controversy and besides my family won't like it and what will my neighbors think?' And He said "Baloney." And yet a third time the Lord said "go" and He said "do you love me?" And I said "Look, I'm scared people are going to hate me and cut me to pieces, I can't take it all by myself." And He said, "Where do you think I'll be?" And the Lord said "Go." And I sighed, "Here I am, send me."

"There is no other way to fulfill the Great Commission than for Christians to take the light of the gospel into every dark corner of the earth - and into every cultural battle once they get there.Who will plunge into the breach, risking all, to save those spiritual captives being led to death? It must be Christians. There is no one else. Christians have the message that saves.We have the light of God. Let's boldly shine it in the darkest corners of our culture.(Ed Vitagliano, AFA Journal, Feb 2014) "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great Light." Matthew 4:16

The abortion industry tells me that when a couple of pro-lifers are there, over 30% of their customers do not show up. They also say if there are twenty or more pro-lifers in front of their abortion mill over 50% never show up. Planned Parenthood admitted 12 years ago that the number one reason abortions are dropping was because pro-lifers standing outside the clinics. The number two reason was because there were not enough doctors to perform abortions because of the first reason. The third reason was abortion mills were closing all across America because of the first reason. We will see abortion end when and only when Christians come out to the street and say to these children: "We have heard your silent screams and we are answering your pleas "What about me, what about my life, aren't I as important?"(Pastor Ed Martin, Georgia, Jan. 2014)"If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me." Luke 9:23-24

This is my great grandson Abel. When I stand at the "gates of hell" in front of the abortion mill and call out to moms going in to please spare their babies ... I think of him. I think each baby being killed in the abortuary if left to grow and be born could be a beautiful blessing like Abel is to us. I get all choked up and my heart hurts because these moms have no clue what they will be missing out on. Please pray for them.

Please join us Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 3787 Main Street Bridgeport between 8AM-10AM.The harvest is great but the laborers are few.

"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears that they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." 2 Timothy 4:1-5

On Friday, January 24, we had a Roe v Wade Memorial prayer vigil. We remembered the 60 million babies that were killed by surgical abortion in the past 41 years. Over 40 people were present at the peak of the event. Al Vazquez was the moderator. Six pastors spoke and prayed about the sin of abortion plaguing our nation.They were Pastor Wayne Goodall (Haven of Rest, West Haven), Pastor Hector Muniz (Lighthouse Church, Bridgeport), Pastor Pedro Vazquez (Gospel Light, Bridgeport), Pastor Ryan Trawick (Promiseland, West Haven), Pastor Ron Nugent (Waterbury), Pastor Bob Rascati (Calvary Life, Cheshire). We were blessed to have Nicole give her testimony about going to the Summit for an abortion. She shared about how she changed her mind after meeting and talking to us. She had baby Jamie with her, a product of God's grace! She said she could not imagine her life without him. PTL!

Attorney Michael DePrimo also spoke and reported on current pro-life court cases locally and national. Marilyn Carroll gave the local stats and national reduction rate of free standing abortion mills since 1990. There were 2000 then and its down to 675 now. PTL! It does make a difference when Christians come out to the streets and take a public stand against baby killing in their community. We are in Bridgeport at 3787 Main St Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 AM- 10 AM. Please join us, Just show up and see what God will do!

A TESTIMONY by Carmen Vazquez

On February 22nd we met a young couple driving into PP for a late term abortion procedure of 21 1/2 weeks gestation. This young mother shared with us that she has 4 children and living in a shelter home in NY. I said to her "if she should kill one of the 4 children she has at home and keep this one what would be the difference? She proceeded to tell us she lost her job and was stressed out!! We told her we would stand by her and help them and she gave us her cell number. Of course, the baby's father said he didn't want her to have the abortion, but it was her decision, as he drove her into the parking lot! Unbelievable!! We encouraged her to choose life and to trust in the Lord! She only needed 4 more months to go in her pregnancy. We gathered to pray for them outside PP, that she would come out without going through with the abortion. I called her later that day to see how she was doing. She said she couldn't go through with the abortion. Thank God!

She remembered what I said to her about her killing one of the other four children and it echoed in her mind and she said it made sense to her!! She shared with me that the day before we met her, she had gone into PP to have the luminaria inserted into her cervix to dilate her for the procedure. On Wednesday she was going to have the abortion procedure done the day we met her at PP. In the procedure room the nurse came in with a long needle to insert into her stomach to stop the baby's heart beat! She told

the nurse she had changed her mind and wanted the luminaria taken out. The abortionist came in the room and said it was too late; she had to go through with it!! She requested to talk to the supervisor of PP and they told her they couldn't remove the luminaria and she had to go to Hartford OBGYN and see if they would remove it. The next day (Thursday) she drove to Hartford OBGYN and as she drove into the parking lot, she recalled seeing many pro-lifers outside with a small table with baby models. She said the office was packed with women going for late term abortions. Sitting in the waiting room next to a young mother of 29 weeks gestation she encourages her not to go through with the abortion. She said her boyfriend didn't want the baby and she had no family to help her. As she was called into the procedure room the abortionist proceeded to firmly tell her that it was too late for her to change her mind and they couldn't remove the luminaria. As they brought the needle in to stop the baby's heart beat! She strongly said that she was not letting them remove her baby from her and she was going to walk out and see her pre-natal doctor instead for help. The female abortionist sent her to the ultrasound room to see if they can

locate the luminaria since they knew she was at high risk and they couldn't send her home with their practice being liable if anything happened to her!! They finally remove the luminaria and she went home.

She said she remembers hearing women screaming in the different rooms in the clinic. Two days later she went to her pre-natal doctor bleeding from her cervix. They did an ultrasound and praise the Lord the baby was and is doing fine!! This was an experience she will never forget. The power of prayer....To God Be The Glory!!!!

Since then we were able to help her with a list of resources for housing and most needed clothes for her four children. They are now living in a three bedroom apartment in Bridgeport until they find another apartment with four bedrooms. The children's father is working now at a construction company and looking for something closer to home. Please keep this family in prayer!

NEEDS

We also have a single mom (Spanish) with two beautiful well behaved children 9 yrs. old girl and 1 1/2 yrs old boy. She needs a roommate to share the rent. The apartment is in West Haven on the third floor in a good neighborhood. It’s very nice and clean. Please share this with your contacts, someone that is a single woman and responsible to share the rent. $ 625.00 a month with utilities.

Thank you everyone for your continual prayers and support! We could not do this alone! Since 1990, 2407 babies have been saved and 427 salvations. Why? because Christians came out of their comfort zones to the street at the death camp. We reach out to moms in crisis pregnancy situations and take away all their excuses for wanting to kill their babies. We give Jesus all the glory and we are blessed to co-labor with Him in this ministry. We need infant clothes boy and girl, boy 6-9 months and diapers size newborn & 3,4,5,6.
